California Jacks It's People

Generalizing everyone in one state based on a stereotype, how open minded of you.

However, here's a few FACTS you might want to think about;

Our state may be executing people who've committed such heinous crimes such as murdering children after they've raped them and senior citizens minding their own business on the way to the grocery store, etc... I guess that offends you somehow. California instead has early release for its offenders. Why? Because its bankrupt!

When the state may be in the position that it has to borrow money from the rest of the nation, it becomes our business. The California government is seizing tax money to supposedly be repayed at a later date WITHOUT even asking its citizens because it can't even make payroll!

Texas isn't bankrupt and operates in the black EVERY year, with over 2500 people from California moving here EVERYDAY, people in my complex are from New York, Virginia, California, New Jersey, and Michigan because they can't find any job in those states and they're economic disasters.

Texas operates on its own electrical grid with huge growth in wind powered electricity taking place. The excess electricity is sold to other states including California because the "not in my back yard" people won't allow further growth or expansion of power plants in their states.

California's government has not operated in the black since Ronald Reagan was it's governor, the only time it did so during the last half of the past century.

What insurance you're speaking of I'm not sure of but last time I checked it was not in either the United States or State Constitution to provide health insurance to everyone just because. BTW Socialized Medicine has never worked successfully in any country without a staggering increase in taxes and a huge decrease in quality of service. You're about to experience that first hand.

Last time I checked rednecks were not restricted to any particular state but more or less referred to a lifestyle and way of living. I've met my fair share of California rednecks too.

Respectfully, I lived in California for several years, have no issue with the state or its people, its a really beautiful place with an incredible history. I was even thinking about visiting this coming summer.

Texas state law is that ALL teachers, substitutes, and school workers undergo a background check for all criminal activity.

Texas isn't all that bad, the people are nice as hell, and there is the very big possibility that MJ issues will be on the ballot this coming year. With the exception of the MJ laws here, I wouldn't change anything else.

Respectfully, if the best you can do is name call and point out skewed facts and socialist talking points, then you're not really contributing anything to a forum designed for the intelligent discussion amongst adults who have a common belief in our plant and medicine. You should be part of the solution, not the problem.

good post, but I have to ask where do you get your numbers?? 2500 people a day.. ohh and think you mistyped something too heh..threw me off for a second trying to follow. as far as the poster this was directed at, you waste your words on him, i think he was just throwing something shiney out for some monkeys to grab onto, or he really is that far out in the atmosphere either way, not worth it

not trying to get take sides here or anything but point of info . . Californian's pay MUCH more in federal taxes than they receive back from the federal gov't. So, one quick easy way for Cali to solve all its financial problems would be to correct that. :thumbsup:
